"Florida-based Mace Livingston wrenches on airplanes, and bikes are
his passion. Not the sleek, aerodynamic types, though. Mace likes the
steampunk, Mad Max vibe.
MaceTech Industries’ latest build started out as a 2000 model KTM 640
Adventure, with a water-cooled 625cc single cylinder hidden under acres
of plastic. “With that giant coffee-can piston swinging around, the KTM
can be a bit teeth-chattering,” says Mace. “Tons of usable torque
though, and the bike is very light—despite its looks.”"

Community activists United NY staged a costumed demonstration
in Manhattan on Thursday to protest
against Mitt Romney's economic policies on the final
evening of the Republican National Convention. The 13-foot Dark Knight Rises villain was at Bain HQ in Manhattan
Thursday with labor rights organization United NY to demonstrate
against Mitt Romney's economic policies.

The action made more
explicit a connection first observed by conservative radio host Rush
Limbaugh: the homophonic relationship between Bain Capital, the private equity firm co-founded by Republican 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney,and Bane, the Batman villain of DC Comics and The Dark Knight Rises. While Limbaugh's extremely tenuous
connection of the two was designed to criticize a perceived liberal
bias in the then-unreleased Christopher Nolan film, United NY paired
Bane with Bain specifically to compare the fictional villain to Romney's
real-life company, which came under heavy fire this week in Matt
Taibbi's new Rolling Stone piece "Greed and Debt: The True Story of Mitt Romney and Bain Capital."

For the Make-A-Wish Foundation, forty artists re-imagined the iconic Boba
Fett or Clone Trooper helmets from Star Wars. The helmets went up for bid on eBay. You can check out the credit for each design by either clicking the images above or going to the As You Wish Helmet Project Facebook page.

These scary hands were painted as part of a campaign for Kimberly Clark in
Costa Rica to help raise awareness about the importance of proper hand
washing and how your hands essentially look like aliens.

"Old
photoshoot of my Rikku cosplay. Since then I’ve made more
accurate/realistic weapons and fixed the wig and straps on the top (I
need to take new photos with everything!) I can’t wait to wear this to AWA-con! :D"

There’s a kind of future timeline that could only exist if pop-culture
never progressed past neon colored-TV screens, weapons-grade
synthesizers, and leather everything; where the 80’s were
extrapolated forever. This is the foggiest bad-neighborhood night club
extended to every corner of Earth, where the colors are so saturated you
can only gaze upon them with sunglasses on (even at night!). However,
any apocalyptic timeline, be it zombie or 80’s world, is made bearable
with Emma Stone, who somehow manages to jump dimensions and continue to
look damn good doing it.

As always you'll find the full story behind this costume and every progress step on my facebook progress page and my costume blog.
I finished the costume just a few days ago and so I am very glad that I
had the change to get such a nice photoshoot in such a short time with
it. This time a professional photographer, BilderHaus,
was in charge for the photos. It was pretty important for me to create
the dark and threatening atmosphere which you can find in Diablo III.
And so I just love the illusion that the team of BilderHaus created in
this photoshoot."

"The suit was commissioned from hmwsgx in 2011. It debuted [giggity] at
the Bioware Costume Contest during SDCC ‘11, where it won the N7 Award.
It was worn briefly at SDCC ‘12 and will be retired after D*Con ‘12.

Since early 2012, minor adjustments have been made to pull the suit
tighter in certain areas, and all photos were shot and edited by myself
and/or Boris-The-Animal.
The only site currently hosting them is deviantArt (under ThresherMaw).
If you happen to see any distributed elsewhere without credit or
watermarks, please please let me know!"

Jace made these replica hooks modeled after the ones used by the Spider Splicer enemies from Bioshock. They’re perfect for fans trying to cosplay or for someone looking for a unique replica from their favorite video game.

The replicas are made from wood and imitation leather and painted to
create the weathered and rusty look. They are handmade to size when you
order so they’re custom too which makes them even more awesome.
